THEPALM'KD FAS. fTou won't forget me, little one?" -«aid Earl Lysle, iu bis softest accents, looking down with earnest eyes into the sweet flower-face, BO trustfully upkfted to his own. J "No, I will never forget yon," answered tbe girl. And the bine eyes grew moist, and the red lips trembled. The promise broke down the last remnant of her strength; the next moment she hud burst into passionate, bitter weeping. It'seemed as though the branches in the tree above them bent pityingly down upon them; as though the sun lingered a moment in its tenderest sympathy, ere breathing his good night to the world; tiiough the robin checked his notes to listen to the sobs which echoed through the silence of the wood, and stirred Earl Lassie's heart as it had not been stirred before for many a long year. He lwd won the love of Many women --won it often for tiie mere pleasure of winning; sometimes he had won and worn it until it wearied him, but always believing that had the condition been re­ versed, the woman would have done even aa he did. In this case he knew differ­ ently. When he first met Lena Man­ ning she had beeu a child. It had been his hand which had guided her wavering steps across the boundary line from ehildhood to womanhood; he who had wakened her child-heart from its slum­ ber. For what ? For this! It lind been in his life a summer-idyl, a passing folly; in hers, the one spot from which all things henceforth mast date. He was a toan of the worid; she a child of nature, whose world henceforth was bounded by fee h«rizon of his presence. "Hush, Lena--nosh!" he entreated, passing his arm alxmt her waist "Do yoo really core for BQO like this ?" A passing pride atured at his ques­ tion. '.'Do you care for me «o little -that you ean not understand it?" she answered "Nay! I love yon very t'early--m dearly, Lena, that, might I carve out my own desires, and forget my duties, I would never go bock to the great city, and thelifo whwh has grown wearisome. As it ia, I must go; but, Lena, if I may, dear--if I can «o shape my destiny-- some day I will leave it all behind me, and,tome again, this time ito^luck and . weaJ my sweet woodland rose next.to my heart focever." Pretty wards were very natural to Earl Lysle; yet even as he «poke these words, ihe inew that ere another year had run its course, he was destined to lead to the altar his heiress-cousin--a _tall, haughty brunette--whose letter of recall now lay in the breast-pocket of ,hia c«*t "But--tout if things should go amiss --not as you fancy?" There was absolute terror in thp girl's tones--terror so great that, to the man, it seemed cruelty not to quiet it; and] besides, his heart was stirring within him to nohler, better purposes. Perchance he anight avow to his be­ trothed the tfcruth, that, instead of a mar­ riage of convenience, he sought a mar­ riage of love, and ask her to free him from chtiins which already began to gall ere they were fully forged. So he -amUy drew closer to him the girl's slender Hgure, until the blonde head lay on his shoulder, as he Btooped and pressed Ms lips to its golden crown. "Have uo fear, my little one. I <will eome back with the first snow." "You promise, Earl?" "I promise!" * * * * * * * Lena had always loved *fbe -summer fatlier than winter. The leafy trees, the birds, the flowers, the blue «ky--all .had been to her as welcome friends, to be (greeted raptnocxusly, to be parted with .almost tearfully; but this year she could -scarcely watt £or tiie turning of the foliage, or the couthern fLight of the birds. She smiled from her window, as she looked out one luri/rht morning upon the first frost. She laughed when people Aaid that it would i>e an early winter. "All her painting--for she possessed great talent with her bntfch--depicted : winter scenes--snow and ice. But just at the Thanksgiving tsedson her"futlier, a stnrdy {farmer, was'borne senseless, one day, to bis home, and died before he recovered consciousness. It was her first real grief. She had lost her mother when an infant. It :seeme& to her that «he could not have had strength to live through it, but that, as they dowered the eoffiu into the grave, a few flakes of snow came whirling down from tin; gray sky, and «he wejeomed them as heaven-sent messengers of hope. When the came back to th« quiet bonse, through whose roenw "tht di iwr. eheery Voice would never more *-cho, «he almost expected to find some one -waiting for her; but all wa* «till and ^desolate. \ They wre .dreary week* that followed --the more dreary that she found a "heavy mortgage lay on the farm, and •ftiat when all-.things were cleared up, •here wcnld be £eft to her bat a few hun­ dred dollars. "He wfil not care," she mnrwuired. "It will prove his love for me tha more." The week after the funeral, set in the first heavy snownuform, and the papers told how it Ikad spc^ad from end of the eountay to the other. Lena was almost barricaded in lior lonely home, but she sat all day, with folded hands, looking upon the soft, feathety flakes --- watehing the drifts grow iiiarher aud higher--and knew tlint it was all bringing sumivk?r to her heart. The neighbors came to take lier in their sleighs, when the sua peeped out Again and aU the earth wae v rapped iu its white mantle. They s«,l that her chceks were pale aud lier hands fever­ ish, and that she most have &aore of this clear, bracing air. But she eliook her head and refused to go. Could site leave the house, when at any moment he might come? Brides, •he hod sent to him a paper with the announcement of Jior father's death, and fltis must surely hasten him. Bat day succeeded day, notil weak followed week, and still he neither came nor sent her word. The snow-clouds had formed and fallen many times, and each time her heart grew sick with long­ ing. She loved him so wholly, she trusted him so completely that she thought only rir-kness or death could have kept him from her. The hours dragged very slowly. Her little studio was neglected. She sat all day, and every day, beside tbe window, until one morning she wakened to know that the first robin had returned, and the first breath of spring was in the air. He had failed to keep his promise to her. That same day they told iker that the form must be sold. Many neighbors offered her a home, but she declined them all. A sudden resolution came to her. She would go to the city where he lived. Her pride forbade her seeking him, but maybe, if he were not dead, as she often feared, she might one day meet him in tiie street, or at least hearlpome news of Mm 'I The hope Of meeting him--of hearing him--vanished, when she found herself in the great metropolis, and realized its size and immensity. She had secured a comfortable home with a good, motherly woman, but her purse was growiug scanty, aud die could flot tell how long it might hold out, un­ less she could find some means of sup­ port, when one day, sauntering idly oil the street, glancing into a shop-window, she saw some fancy articles, pointed by hand. * Gathering up her courage, she went in and asked if there was sale for that sort of Avork, and if she might be allowed to test her skill. From that hour all dread of want van­ ished, and, iiow that hands were busy, she found less time to brood and think. "I want a fan painted," the mau said to her, one day. "You may make an original design, but it must be very beautiful" Lena's heart had been very sad all day, as, at evening, she unfolded the satin, and sat down, brush in hand, to fulfill this latest order, "It is a gift to an expectant bride," the shopkeeper had said; and the words had recalled all the long waiting, the weary disappointment, those words might bring. And, as she thought, she sketched, and the hours crept on and th» evening grew into night, and the night into morning, and still she bent over her work, silent, engrossed. The next day, the gentleman who had given the order for the fan sauntered into the store. With an air of pardonable satisfaction,. the man drew it from tbe box. "The young artist has outdone herself, sir," he said. "I never saw a more beautiful piece of work, and the design is entirely her own. I--" But lie checked his sentence. The gentleman had taken the fau in his hands, and was examiuing it with startled eyee, and face from wlueh every trace of color had fled. Could it be that the word Nemesis was poiuted. upon the satin? No, this was all he saw. On one side was a woodland scene, while, seated on a log beneath the leafy branches of an old oak, were two figures, one a man, and one a woman. His arm was about her waist. 2£ea: lips seemed to move, her whole expression was fell of love and trust, and his of promise. A little laugh­ ing stream ripppled at their feet. A bird sang overhead. Where had lie seen juet »uch a scene before? He turned tbe fan on the other sicte. Summer had vanished. It was winter here. Naught but the fast-falling snow drifting in white heaps upon the earth. "Who pointed this?** 1m asked, in hoarse, changed tones. The man gave the name and address. How well be had known it! but how came Lena here? And what was this which stirred through every fibre of his being? Conld it be that his manhood might yet redeem him? With swift steps he walked to the house of his betrothed. Stately and beautiful, she came into the drawing- room to greet him, and bent her head that he might touch her forehead with his lips. "Helen., do you love me?" tShe had known liim for long years, but never had she heard such earnestness, such real passion, in hn tones. It was as though bis very soul hung on her answer. Strange, she had never dream pt his love for her was more than friendship, such as she had felt for him. A tinge of color crept into her cheek. "I have promised to marry you, Earl. Yon know that I am fond of ye«, and I highly respect\you. Will not this sat­ isfy you?" "No. I want rill the truth. Is your heart m|ne--all- mine, so that, to tear me from it, would be to tear it asunder?" "No, Earl. Kit were for your hazi­ ness or mine, I could give up my lover and still hold my friend and coiusin." He-seized her hand and carried it to ins lips .more fervently than he Itad done even in the moment <*f l?is courtship. Then, taking tbe fan from his pocket, lie unfolded it, and to&d her all the tale of his summer romance. "I 'thought I could forget lier," he *aid, in euding, "£.nd that wheel the •anow fell and I did act return to lier, ehe would cease to remember me; but see, : Helen! She still remembers, and I still (love. I d© not know what brings her here. I have heard inotliing from her -sinee last^tmmer. Bnt, tell me, cousin mine, What aiiist I dot I lea?ft itafl to yon," "I said thct I would tbe your friend. Now, I will he hers as well. Go to her, Earl. Tell her all the truth. Then, if she forgives you, make her your wife. If she is alone iii the world, .as perhaps she anay be. bringflaer to me. She shall be married from rorr hoose, aeoay sister. I accept tkis fan, not as a lover's gift, bat a pledge to the truer, moreihonest bond which henceforth binds us." Lena wis exhausted after her sleep­ less night, and, throwing heraelf on the lounge in the sitting-room -of her kind hostess, she had fallen into a dreamless slumber. Long Earl Lysle stood and watched !ier, until the magnetism of hie glance Aroused her. She thought that 6he was dreaming of the fan; but as he stooped and took her in hi« anus, she kuew tliat it was reality. She listened Silently while he toSd foer all--even his struggle for forgetfulness, and his ignorance of his own heart and its demands. She heard that she had 6ent tiie paper with the news of her father's death to the wrong address, that he had known nothing of the long, lonely wiuter to which had succeeded this wonderful, glorious summer-time of hope. Poor child! She had no mom for pride in the heart so filled by his image. She forgot that there was sore need for forgiveness. He loved her now! Of that shewas assured; and after all, the snow had only lain upon the ground to warm the earth, aud foster the rich, sweet violets, which now bloomed and clustered at her feet^ J ready for her to stoop and pluck them. Perhaps some women, iu their pride, would have rejected them. She oould not; but, stooping^ kissed them, then transplanted them to her heart, there to shed sweet fragrance forevermoare. NOTIONS OF THE FIHAT SETTLBRS. [From the Mondovi (Wle.) Buffalo Co. Herald.] Mr. W. H. 11. Aniklon, one of the first settlers in the town of Gihnantown, Wis., and one of tbe most industrious and bard- working men in the county, h:is been very severely troubled with rheumatic pains during the past few years, so much at times that lie was disabled from performing man­ ual labor.

Many ethers of our acquaintances have used it and express themselves as highly gratified with the relief k has afforded them. This king of medi­ cines can be bought everywhere. The Towers of SUenw. _ From the midst of a grove of palms .two circular towers, near which stands a large building looking not un­ like some public institution in any well- to-do city in America, and which is,' in truth, one of the temples whioh seem so necessary in every Indian landscape. The "towers of silence"--what does not the fancy picture when that name is heard for the first time ? A religious retreat, where one wearied wiili the din aud turmoil of tliw city below may enter and tmd peace and rest. Such a retreat as Taine must have reached in the Pyrenees when he felt that in such a spot and with such influences the " Imi­ tation " Eftudt have been written. Or, periliips, it is designed as a place of pun­ ishment, aud persons caught in crime are brought here to wear out in siience their term of sentence, which will last till life flickers feebly and hope dies. Away runs imagination, but a talkative "wailali," or, literally speaking, fellow, who is our guide, soon brings back wan­ dering fancy by the appalling announce­ ment that the towers are, in truth, the Parsee cemetery or mortuary. Directly a Parsee dies ho is brought to the temple, and then after the other rites are performed the body is disrobed, anointed with sacred oils ; after that it is taken to the towers, which are about thirty feet in diameter and entirely open at thle top ; and then placed upon an iron grating for the vultures to come and devour the flesh. In every direction one can see the majestic palms bencung low with their burdens of vultures and kites waiting for new prey ; the air abounds with their hungry cawing, while it is also laden with the sickening odor of decay­ ing flesh. While a body is being placed in position the edge of the tower is tilled with cawing, chattering spectators, hungry to make the first. plunge upon the victim. With one accord they dash down out of sight, and one knows by the change from tumult to quiet that the Parsee interment is taking plaoe. That which but a short time ago was a human being, with hopes, and fears, and aspirations such as Btill animate us who gaze transfixed with horror, is being torn shred by shred aud carried into the air, to be dropped and picked up, and quarreled over, or else to be consumed with genuine satisfaction. No sooner does a sated bird fly on lazy wing to some far-off tree top to sleep off tne effects of his gluttony jlm-n a fresh one arrives upon the scene to carry on the hideous work. Others sweep down upon us, the living, and brush our very freed with their noisome win^s. Be­ side us stand some Paisees, who watch the circling birds with loving interest, and one Edglish-speakipg guide tells us that they frequently stand and watch them till they know their dead to havt been consumed. As soon as the birds have cleaned alt the flesh from t »e bones, they are dropped into a well at the bot­ tom of the towers, where they are cov­ ered with quicklime and consumed. The tower is then Hooded and deodor­ ized, and so, it is claimed, there is no taint in the air, but any one having the sense of smell unblunted feels that boast is not founded upon truth.--Bom­ bay (India) letter. [Front the Cincinnati Irish ClUscn.) Mk. JOHN MILLKK, of 54 West Fifth St, tells us that he was cured by the use of St Jacobs Oil of a complicated case of rheu­ matism of ten years' standing. A Leadville Minister. The following remarkable report of Protestant Episcopal life in Leadville was made by the Rev. T. J. Mackay, a mis­ sionary in charge of that church, on a recent Sabbath in one of the large •churches of that denomination (Dr. New­ ton's), in Philadelphia. After stating that when he went to Leadville, he found, instead of a hamlet, a thriving town, with churches of every denomination, five banks, five daily newspapees, etc., he 6aid: "My first vestryman conld drink more whisky than any man in the town. Shortly after I made my appearance in the town my parishioners invited me to a church sociable, and upon going I wosastonished to see the worthy people waltzing aud dancing in the most seaudalous manner. To add to this there are two strw.ts whose entire length were made up of low dance houses. How was I to overcome such a gigantie evil? I secured a hall, had tbe floor waxed, and after engagii)^ a band of music, I 6ent out invitations to all •the young men of the place to come down and have a dance. I instructed my floor manager--who, by the way, made dots of money and skipped--not to allow >auy waltzing. The result WM, after en­ joying square dances until 11 o'clock, the participants quietly dispersed. Some few said: "Wait until tiie preacher goes, then we'H have a waltz," but I was too smart for them--I carried the key of the hall \n my pocket, aud did! not leave until all bad departed. Rwery cither week I gave such a sociable, and the resiiMf) are remarkably good.

I>™T?OR A CONSUMPTIVE.--'The diet of a consumptive, says a writer in an English medical paper, should be simple and nutritious. Very strict rules as to special articles are uncalled for, nnloqg tie stomach should have exhibited signs of imperfect power. Meat should be taken once or twice a day, with a good allowance of fat. Fish is nutritious, especially oysters. Milk is very nourish­ ing, and two or three pints may be taken in tbe course of the day. TAKB SEASONABLE 1 Bstrr.--Dr. TT*ll says the best medicine in the world, nJore efficient than all tbe potions of the materia medica, are warmth, rest, cleanliness and pure air5$ Some persons make it a virtue to brave disease, to " keep up " ae long aa they can move a foot or wiggle a finger, and it sometimes succeeds, but in others the powers of hie are thereby so completely exhausted that the system has loe>t ail ability to re­ cuperate, and slow and typhoid fever sets in and carries the patient to a pre­ mature grave. Whenever walking or work is an effort, a warm bed and cool room are the very first indispensable^ to a sure and speedy recovery. Instinct leads all beasts and birds to quietude aud rest the very moment disease or pounds assail the system. TOBACCO MXDICINK.--It may be pas­ sible, writes Dr. J. H. Hanaford, that there are a few persons who, after no little effort, almost convince themselves that tobacco--yes, that vilest of weeds-- is really useful in some mysterious way in flie removal of some forms of disease. And yet I never have known an instance in which the cure was effected, nor do I believe that a cure of any disease was ever effected by this so-called medicine. It is unlike other medicines--though it may be useful in killing vermin on calves, etc., if used with great care that the poison may not come ui contact with the skin--since it takes a life-time to ef­ fect the cure, the victims never ceasing its nse, for, as they assure us, the dis­ ease immediately returns if the medi­ cine is discontinued for a single day. This fact is evidence that no cure is really effected--simply a substitute for a palliative. Indeed, it is quite certain that but few of these victims of an im­ aginary disease, it may be, would be willing to be cured in any sensible way, so servile is the power of this magic weed. It is rare that we find the some, or any, patients willing to adopt tbe use of tiny other medicine with the con­ dition that it must be taken till death with no real cure. Would suoh recom­ mend the same medicine for the wife, the daughter, or even a valuable horse ? The Transportation of Wheat.
